Biography

Japanese rock band One Ok Rock formed in Tokyo in 2005. The band currently consists of Takahiro Moriuchi (vocals), Toru Yamashita (guitar/leader), Ryota Kohama (bass) and Tomoya Kanki (drums).

The band's name comes from "one o'clock", the time that the band used to practice on weekends. They chose to play at one o'clock in the morning because it was cheaper to use the rehearsal space during such hours.

However, noticing the Japanese language made no distinction between Rs and Ls, they changed "O'CLOCK" to "O'CROCK" (or "O'KROCK"), which was then separated to become "OK ROCK". As such, their name can also be expressed as "10969" (one-o-ku-ro(ku)-ku).
